Review of Reason For Bein' from Country Music News

"On the liner notes of her debut album, Marny Duncan-Cary tells us she sold her Harley to make this album. Some would consider the sale a sacrilege; in the case of this Lumsden, Saskatchewan singer/songwriter it appears to have been a very wise investment. The "ex-biker" can sing (with a JoDee Messina edge to her vocals), she writes a good song (all but two songs have her penwork involved), and she delivers a very tasty record (strong acoustic arrangements produced by award-winning Bart McKay).

Radio listeners will already be familiar with Marny Duncan-Cary on the strength of her debut single release Because I Want To, which is currently attracting decent airplay. Several more tunes here have strong potential, especially the heartache tune, Headin' Straight For You, which features a soulful vocal by Duncan-Cary. Also strong is the melancholy Linger, and the energy-filled Might Be Misbehaving.

One of the songs that Marny Duncan-Cary did not have a hand in writing is He Ain't Missin' Missin' Me, a gender switch on a song penned by Jason McCoy and included on his current album. If McCoy doesn't release the cut as a radio single, Duncan-Cary should definitely jump on another of the "sure-things" from her package.

The album includes an un-listed Bonus Track in Rock Star, a fun little item (not for radio), that every busy young mother will relate to.

Reason For Bein' was produced by Bart McKay and recorded at his Sound Edge Studios in Saskatoon, with session players like Jeff Bradshaw (steel/dobro), Tyler Vollrath and Jason Heistad (fiddle), Randall Prescott (harmonica), Anthony Kelly and Rich McFarlane (guitars), etc. contributing their talents."
